Nashville SC returns to GEODIS Park at 7:30 p.m. CT on Wednesday to host the Colorado Rapids in the final Western Conference clash among the two sides. Limited tickets remain available at www.NashvilleSC.com/Tickets.
The Boys in Gold are coming off sensational back-to-back performances in which they amassed seven goals in their 4-0 and 3-0 shutouts over FC Dallas and Vancouver Whitecaps FC, respectively. Saturday’s victory in Vancouver was a career-match for defender Jack Maher who scored his first career brace, while Costa Rican winger Randall Leal recorded a jaw-dropping game winning goal from distance.
MLS MVP frontrunner Hany Mukhtar became just the 15th player in MLS history to record double digit goals and assists in multiple seasons with a two-assist performance over the weekend that raised his MLS season totals to 16 goals and 11 assists. Mukhtar is the league leader in goal contributions with 27 and is tied for second place in goals scored. The German is one goal shy of setting a new career-high in goals scored after notching 16 goals in an MLS MVP runner-up campaign in 2021 and has been involved in over half of the club’s regular season goals (63 of 120) in history and is the all-time leader in club history in goals (36) and assists (27).
Nashville SC enters the week in fifth place in the Western Conference (10W-9L-9D, 39 pts.) just five points shy of third place in the West. The Boys in Gold will be looking to complete the season sweep over the Colorado Rapids after taking the first match in decisive fashion on May 28 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. MVP candidate Hany Mukhtar notched a brace in route to a 3-1 road win.
Fans with tickets in the GEODIS WeHo Club will want to arrive early to enjoy a private performance leading up to kickoff by Brassfield, a country vocal trio with airtight three-part harmonies and a stellar vocal blend. Following the entrance of both teams on the pitch, RECORDS Nashville recording artist Erin Kinsey will perform the National Anthem, and as the Boys in Gold take the pitch, the quick-draw guitarist and rough-hewn singer Frankie Ballard will perform the Guitar Riff.
